What is 600 percent of 331 - step by step solution

To get the solution, we are looking for, we need to point out what we know.

1. We assume, that the number 331 is 100% - because it's the output value of the task.
2. We assume, that x is the value we are looking for.
3. If 331 is 100%, so we can write it down as 331=100%.
4. We know, that x is 600% of the output value, so we can write it down as x=600%.
5. Now we have two simple equations:
1) 331=100%
2) x=600%
where left sides of both of them have the same units, and both right sides have the same units, so we can do something like that:
331/x=100%/600%
6. Now we just have to solve the simple equation, and we will get the solution we are looking for.

7. Solution for what is 600% of 331

331/x=100/600
(331/x)*x=(100/600)*x       - we multiply both sides of the equation by x
331=0.16666666666667*x       - we divide both sides of the equation by (0.16666666666667) to get x
331/0.16666666666667=x
1986=x
x=1986

now we have:
600% of 331=1986
